Independence Day

Oh, what a great time we had this 4th of July. (Even though we actually celebrated it on the 3rd) Here's our timeline of the day...

7:00am- My niece, Kylie, and I ran in the Kanab Fun Run 5k! This was my first run of any kind and it was actually fun! It meant a lot to me to have James & the boys waiting for us at the finish line. :)



8:00am- Breakfast following the run provided by The Lions Club.


10:00am- Kanab 4th of July Parade. This parade cracks me up. It reminds me just how small our town is. We have floats that say "Brown Family" with all the relatives on it. So cute. And the fire trucks always spray the spectators with tons of water. This year, the fire truck and forest service truck got in a big water fight. That was pretty entertaining. Although, David's favorite part of the parade was chasing after all the candy the people in the floats threw.




12:00pm- Boys' naptime! :)

3:00pm- BBQ with just our family, and that was actually quite nice. Then James & David got into a water fight in the backyard with the hose. So funny!



6:00pm- Head over to the park to get a good spot for the firework show. We just hung out with all our neighborhood friends and the boys got to play for a few hours. David especially liked the water fountains that all the kids play in. He got soaked! So much fun!


10:00pm- Firework Show! Steven didn't enjoy the first few minutes of this. He screamed, but Daddy stood up with him and called him down. He was fine about half-way through. David loved the fireworks. He kept his ears plugged, but he shouted out all the different colors of the fireworks. (Sorry I don't have any pictures of the actual fireworks) Good times!

Have you ever seen something so cute all covered in mud???
I walked in on David trying to go potty at my parent's house back in April. Hilarious! That was when I decided to try potty training. It just took me a couple months to prepare myself. :)
Pizza Night!
